ALI : MORE THAN HORSE RESCUE IN WEST VIRGINIA.

Operating as one of West Virginia’s most effective equine advocacy organization. Erin, founder of ALI, works with the locals to educate them on her work to provide a partnership for change.   She works throughout much of Appalachia uniting  groups of individuals, volunteers and partners improving the outlook for horses of all breeds and background, as well as safety of people in the region. She does so through such methods as distributing mineral block throughout the region to keep unlimited numbers of horses off the roads seeking salt, which reduces car and horse collisions, boil this down, she is saving lives.   She is always working to save and improve the lives of individual horses as well with medical intervention, she succeeding.  

Because she is aware it is important to expand the reach of advocacy in this region, she offers rescue to horses, education to horse owners, and works with horse professionals regionally to see her goals to fruition. Erin also assist counties’ animal control & law enforcement officers statewide with training and support.

Erin is a successful advocate for All Horses in Appalachia.

Poverty in the region means the need for education and assistance is tremendous, and she works to meet those needs.

She cares about showing what rescued horses are capable of while working on the roots of “equine neglect” where a future finds fewer horses in need.

Abuse, deprivation from water, food and basic care frequently go on at unspeakable levels where horses are left to suffer for years in Appalachia.

She has found working at the root of the issue through clinics, educational events, blogs and in person help creates respect for equine advocacy and change. Erin’s focus is to improve the outlook of horses here for now and the long term.

Horses in her care receive the rehab or medical care they need to lead healthier lives.
